Ryanair is warning people not to fall for a new scam on Facebook.
A post appears in your newsfeed saying you have been selected to get two free tickets from Ryanair to celebrate the airlines 32 year anniversary.
The length of the anniversary does seem to vary but they are all scams.
All you have to do to get your free tickets is fill out a short survey (see image below).
But, after you’ve completed the survey and handed over plenty of personal information you’ll find there are no free tickets on offer.
The post is coming from a number of fake Ryanair website addresses including ‘ryanair-airways.us’ and ‘ryanair.com-freechance.com’.
The scam is almost identical to one that appeared this time last year and did the rounds on Facebook. At the time Ryanair took to Facebook to warn people not to be taken in by the con.
“Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets.
“This is not an official promotion,” the airline warned on its official Facebook page.
If you see an offer that you'd be interested in, you should check direct with the company in question (without clicking on any links in the offer you've seen) if it's legit.
What's more, you needn't hang around waiting for an offer on a cheap flight, you can simply read this brilliant guide.

Not always obvious it's a con
As our readers often point out to us, these scams are really easy to spot if you pay attention.
But the reality is that people do fall for them. Not only do we hear from people asking for help after being scammed, but logic also dictates that there wouldn't be so many of these scams out there if they weren't working.
The situation isn't helped by the fact that brands do often advertise legitimate sales and giveaways on an almost daily basis. My social media feeds are full of them!
Take a look at this example below, which popped up from Ryanair on the day I was writing about this scam.
To be clear I'm not criticising the company, just pointing out that offers are common, so some people might be fooled by a fake one.
It's why we keep flagging up these cons as often as we can.
